SaviorandLord Podcast Episode #21: "When Influence Tests Our Character" feat. Emanuel


Listen Later

Host Victor Nunez and guest Emmanuel continue their series from “Hidden Seasons” to “visibility” and now “influence,” focusing on how character is tested when exposure and responsibility increase. 

They discuss why influence magnifies strengths and weaknesses, the dangers of pride, people-pleasing, and performance replacing obedience, and the need to avoid causing others to stumble (1 Corinthians 10).

They emphasize accountability, humility, and guarding the heart, citing Luke 16:10, James 3:1, 1 Timothy 3:6, Galatians 1:10, Romans 12, and Proverbs 4:23. Examples include leadership pressures, criticism, parenting boundaries, and a personal example involving Emmanuel's help to an older woman.

They highlight personal time with God, silence, teachability, servant leadership, and relying on grace, including Paul’s “thorn” (2 Corinthians 12), concluding that influence is stewardship for God’s glory, not ego.
